#3 – Opioids
Opioids are a narcotic medication that is available for those people who are not able to take Triptans or Ergots. Codeine is usually the narcotic that is found in opioids and these types of medications can be very addictive. It is important to keep track of your migraines, symptoms, triggers, and what you took for the pain and its effectiveness. Tracking is important because opioids are most often used as a last resort due to their potential for abuse; however, they are very effective in relieving migraine pain.
